The Master Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) I am hoping to get to Hershey. I have gone in 1996, 1999 and last year and it is fun but there is 1 problem. It is like torture seeing all the coasters and not being able to ride. I still would like to see at least Trailblazer, Comet and Sooperdooperlooper open. It's better than not going to a park but it isn't the same without the coasters. The problem is ice, it would be very hard and exspensive to keep coaster tracks deiced in the winter time in our zone 6 climate. Besides that the temps are usually cold enough to suck most of the fun out of riding a rollercoaster and it's really for the best that they are not open. I am amazed that Hershey has as many outdoor rides running as they do for this time of the year. Sadly if you want to ride a coaster this time of the year you will have to travel to a park in a warmer climate, zone 8 or higher.

Chiller Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I plan on going to Hershey and maybe Dutch Wonderland this Christmas. This is strange the day after the parks close for Halloween, we are talking about Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I might get to Hershey. I would have considered Busch Gardens if more than 1 coaster was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_Up_and_Away Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Definitely Busch Gardens' Christmas Town, probably Sesame for a little Christmas shopping... The others are possibilities, but the holiday season flies by so quickly, it's impossible to do them all in a matter of a few weekends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 We just booked a long weekend at WDW for the first part of December! I need to use my annual pass again before January. It has been a few years since I have been to the Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom and the Candlelight Ceremony at EPCOT and I am really looking forward to it! Hershey and Storybook Land have become annual traditions so we'll be hitting those two seperate nights. We always seem to pick the coldest night to visit Hershey where we freeze our Christmas ba**s off on the monorail ride! If only our local Six Flags had a Holiday in the Park event!

Hershey is good if you go into it not expecting much in terms of thrills. Otherwise it will probably be a letdown since the only major rides open are the Claw, Swings, Pirate, Bumper Cars and Reese's Extreme Cup Challenge and maybe 1 or 2 I forgot. Everything else is kiddie rides and tranquil/tame rides like the antique cars, Kissing Tower, monorail, train etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Nice to see we're all in the holiday spirit! Usually, I'll just do a Disneyworld Halloween /Christmas visit (because they change the decorations and shows overnight while we are there. This year I'm sorry to say I don't think I will. But, what you guys are thinking looks nice... I've never been to Hershey during the Holiday Season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
